Fascinated by this one Instagram account run by a girl who got divorced young and decided to make a career as a cottagecore divorce influencer out of it apparently
i stepped in my kitchen late last night and I ain’t had a single snack in the cribo. went back to bed mad disgruntled. felt like oliver twist. like a pre industrial revolution british kid or something
This is why I decided to learn how to bake.
brother i said i missed the bus and you telling me this is why you became an astronaut. where do we go from here?
also I fucking hate those “if lgbt discussion isn’t allowed in schools than neither should pregnant teachers because she’s showing everyone that she got CUMMED INSIDE🤢 lol she’s teaching kids about her breeding kink” posts because 1) what an odd way to think and talk about pregnant people even if it’s just for a gotcha own. weird. anyways 2) are we just going to pretend that pregnant people don’t experience workplace discrimination? that reproductive rights aren’t politicians’ favorite bargaining chip? that pregnant people can’t face other forms of discrimination including medical abuse and social alienation? that murder isn’t a leading cause of death for pregnant people? that there wasn’t a time teachers had to sign contracts promising they wouldn’t get pregnant or could face termination? okay
Literally pregnant people are an oppressed class, I don’t know how better to explain it to people. Pregnancy is disabling, and it doesn’t help that there’s people (on both sides of the political spectrum) don’t treat it as such and refuse accomodations because “well you chose that”. Pregnant people are less likely to be hired, even in workplaces that don’t demand manual labour, because “oh well they won’t work as much because of bathroom breaks and maternity leave”. And there is a *huge* pressure for pregnant teachers to take the shortest possible maternity leave because “think of your students!!” And then once the baby is born and the parent returns to work, if the baby is fed breast milk they now have to negotiate breaks for pumping, and while in the US it’s technically legally required to provide a space for that, it usually ends up being a corner in the public bathroom or a dark and musty supply closet.
And saying “oh well don’t get pregnant then lol” is an impossible demand and also fascist. Telling people who face job insecurity to just not reproduce is fascist.
